the back to school crowd has ARRIVED! they gave me so much energy we had no choice but to start the Fall semester off with a sweaty bang. Chiso (4 yrs) usually knows where everything is but since he can’t tell me the whereabouts of my Polar FT4 watch, it really is lost #confirmed

i feel like i torched like 1000k calories in one hour this morning though!!!!! my 530-AMers know that starting their day this way gets them focused and ready to take on anything. nothin’ like it.

post class, this guy kept me company while i did a live cooking demo with my Periscope buddies! i have a blog post in the works that will contain some of my fave Periscope follows and tools i use to enhance my Periscope ‘experience’.

here’s the star of today’s show! reminds you of Fall, doesn’t it? gosh, with school starting the summer is pretty much ova. sorry, didn’t mean to be a debbie downer on my own post. *sigh*

now, my crock pot was a wedding gift from almost 8 years ago next month, so there is a way cooler, updated model by now which can be found in my FFL store! it’s a programmable, durable Smart Pot by Crock Pot and it’s still kicking, strong.

soooo about that giveaway! i totally screwed it up and not only got the answer to my own giveaway question wrong, but i missed the right answer which was corn, not friggin’ black beans! oh the awesomeness of broadcasting live. after watching again my winner is in fact the fantastic: SIERRA FLORES!!! email your contact info to: le@fitfoodiele.com so you can get your @firstlinebrandsDri Sweat Edge headband!

add us on Periscope already!

boy if you don’t get cho…………

Q: WHAT do you top your chili with? lots of shredded cheddar cheese and crushed up saltines for me! #childhoodmemories
